As long as none was ingested, it will likely not cause any problems. If you would rather be on the safe side, you can bring shelbi in to see your vet and have her blood tested to make sure that there are no changes consistent with rat poison. I hope this helps! I'm sure Shelbi will be just fine if she did not ingest any poison. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
